If I spend thousands of dollars to finish, condition, hire a handler, and enter the BOB class at the Nationals, I darn sure hope that, even if I do not go Select, I get a long hard look and am in the ring long enough for everyone in the stands to take a good look at him (or her)! I will never complain about judging taking too long, even if I am stuck at home downing a whole bag of mini 3 Musketeers, a jar of cranberry juice and a bottle of Grey Goose waiting for the results.
